Catering across Cumbria & the North West
A bespoke private chef experience at your home, holiday accommodation or chosen venue in Cumbria and the Lake District. We plan the menu around your tastes and kitchen, then cook and serve your meal so you can enjoy the occasion. Minimum party size: four.
Bring restaurant-quality dining to your home, holiday accommodation or chosen venue. Your private chef prepares and cooks your meal in your space, with each course served for you and your guests.
Every booking starts with a conversation about your tastes, the occasion and the kitchen facilities. Matt then shapes a bespoke menu around your group. We welcome enquiries across Cumbria and the North West; share your postcode so we can confirm the arrangements.
A private chef works particularly well when the meal is part of the occasion itself. It gives guests time together without organising travel to a restaurant, and it can be especially useful for accommodation in quieter locations.

Here are answers to some of the questions we are asked most often about booking a private chef in Cumbria, the Lake District and the North West. If there is anything else you would like to know, the team is happy to help.

Yes. The service is bespoke, with Matt taking your preferences and building the menu around the occasion, the group and the kitchen available.
That can include the style of food, the number of courses and how familiar or special the meal should feel.
Potentially, yes. The kitchen facilities need to be discussed before booking so the menu and preparation plan are realistic for the space.
If you are staying in holiday accommodation, it is also worth checking the property rules and confirming what equipment is available.
Your chef comes to your property to cook and serve your meal. Some preparation may take place at Townhouse.211 beforehand, depending on the menu and the facilities available. We agree the practical arrangements with you before the booking.
Yes, we welcome private chef enquiries across Cumbria, the Lake District and the North West. Please send your postcode, guest numbers and preferred date so we can confirm availability and travel arrangements.
